Blepharoplasty–A good Facial Rejuvenation for Patients

Blepharoplasty is performed over a small area of face, but it has a remarkable impact on facial appearance. Blepharoplasty surgery gives the best facial rejuvenation among all facial plastic surgeries. Eye is the most seen part of the face by others. Eyes express more age compare to other body parts because of squinting, smiling and frowning.

With aging we lose freshness of upper eyelid crease that shows appearance of eyes. As we age more, eyelid skin begins to fall by losing its elasticity and eventually resting on eyelashes. Eyelid skin becomes droopy and excess fat makes it baggy. Droopy skin of eyelid gives a tired and old age appearance. Upper blepharoplasty gives a natural looks and youthful appearance by removing excess skin from upper eyelid crease. Some patients have baggy eyelids, excess fat from upper eyelids may be restructured or removed. Incision in the upper eyelid crease is made carefully, practically it is disappear and unnoticeable once recovered.

Lower eyelid is the primary area of face that shows age-related changes first. The lower eyelid skin and muscles start losing and make a droopy appearance. The excess fat on droopy eyelids becomes more prominent. In lower blepharoplasty, the incision is made inside of the lower eyelid crease if only fat is to be removed. When all tissues need to be checked, incision is made under the lash line. The muscle and tendon over the bone are reshaped and resuspended depending upon patient’s requirement. Fat may be repositioned or removed or even tucked back in to the lower eyelid. Some patients may require chemical peels or laser resurfacing in conjunction with lower blepharoplasty to reduce wrinkles and crow’s feet.

Main thing about blepharoplasty is the painless healing and less recovery time over other facial surgeries. Most patients say about blepharoplasty is the best facial rejuvenation value.
